Help with chassi number/VIN 2005 GasGas TXT Pro and 2006 GasGas TXT Pro

[thesaint]

I do not remember how to tell the the year of the bike from looking at the VIN/chassis number.

The first 2 pictures is of a 2006 Gasgas TXT 250 Pro and the last 2 pictures is of a 2005 GasGas TXT 125 Pro

Can any here help me check that the year of the bikes is correct?

the F and the G, eight digits back, A  is 2000

I googled how to tell wich year the bikes are and from what the site i read about this they said that count 4 digits from the end of the chasssi number and the fith number is the year

So if what i read is correct the gas Gas TXT 250 Pro is a 2006 model year and the Gas Gas TXT 125 Pro is a 2005 model year

The chassie number on the 2006 Gas Gas TXT 250 Pro is: *VTRGG2502G04 6 0749* and i let the digit 6 have space before and after since that is the model year.

The chassie number on the 2006 Gas Gas TXT 125 Pro is: *VTRGG1202F02 5 0508* and i let the digit 5 have space before and after since that is the model year.

Here is a picture of both the red 2006 Gas Gas TXT 250 Pro and the yellow 2005 Gas Gas TXt 125 Pro 

On the decals on the red TXT 250 Pro it says TXT Pro 06 and on the yellow TXT125 Pro the decals says Pro 05

 

I found the below here on this website:

Example: VTRGG 3002 D093 9955

VTR = International manufacturers code. VTR = GasGas

GG =Trial model (Company code to identify model EC = Enduro & MX, FS = Four Stroke, WD = Quads)

3002:

30 = 300 model.

02 = (02 = year of Europe homogulation N/A USA)

D093:

D = 2003 ALPHA CODE FOR MODEL YEAR.

09 = Manufacture month (9^TH month) September.

3 = Year of manufacture 2003.

9955 = sequential chassis number. (9,955^th built in this year.)

“Alpha” model year codes Model engine size codes

D = 2003 J = 2008 12 = 125cc

E = 2004 K = 2009 20 = 200 model (175cc)

F = 2005 L = 2010 25 = 250cc

G = 2006 M = 2011 28 = 280 model (272cc)

H = 2007 N = 2012 30 = 300cc

The first picture is of the red TXT 250 Pro and look the yellow arrow pointing to the to decals saying: TXT Pro 06

The second picture is of he yellow TXT 125 Pro and look at the red arrow pointing to the decals saying: Pro 05

I would think that indicates that the TXT 250 Pros is a 2006 and that the TXT 125 Pro is a 2005 model

Stickers can be replaced but as been said earlier Red model 2006 250 yellow is a 125 2005.

Of course the decals can be changed but after i found the thread here on the forum that explains the decoding of the numbers (see my answer number 3 from the top) i was pretty sure that the red 250 is a 2006 model and the yellow 125 is a 2005 model

I also read that one easy way to check which year the Gas Gas bike is made is to count 4 digits from the end of the numbers and the fifth number will be the model year

The last 4 numbers-letters is the sequential chassis number so the fifth number when counting from the end towards the beginning the fifth number is the model year of the bike/the year the bike was made
